I use warm water in the kitchen sink with Ajax dish detergent,rinse in warm water.Then I lay the body on a clean old t shirt to dry. Then I wash the cups and plates in the water after.....not joking either. Lol. For chassis I use an old toothbrush and toothpaste to lightly dull it up while cleaning..gets in the grooves with toothbrush..but this time I refrain from recycling the toothpaste tho

First I wash the plastic in a mixture of Dawn dishwashing detergent and water. Dawn is well known for removing oil, wax and grease. In fact, I use it on my BMW Z3 to strip the wax. Dawn removes the wax pronto. Okay back to the plastic model. After washing with Dawn, I give it a good rinse and then wipe it with rubbing alcohol. Next, I give it a good blast of compressed air to remove any dust. Then I start painting in a spray booth.
